The truth is, I had in my mind a different schedule and the article was intended to be published earlier and be followed by varioustutorials and screencasts, but in the end all went for the good: my article got delayed but also the final GIMP 2.4 release got delayed. However considering the freeze, most likely Fedora 8 will ship with RC3 and the final release (which for the most part should be identical) will be pushed as an update.Enjoy Fedora 8 and Enjoy GIMP 2.4!
